The painter, poet and draftsman, best known for his large-scale triptychs was a favorite of the renowned collector Morton May, St. Louis. Boccia’s early work was primarily naturalistic, and based on life studies. As a young man, he took classes at the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts. Upon graduation, the artist attended the Art Students League of New York and continued at the celebrated Pratt Institute in New York on scholarship, where he met Madeleine Wysong, his future wife.(edwardboccia.com)
Painting is like silent poem, said Simonides, poet from ancient Greece.Paintings are icons, doors to the Platonian world above the heavens. Paintings on my blog are just those icons, which lead a viewer into the magic world of harmony and beauty. Artists who present their achievements on my blog have a very different cultural and national background, they represent variety of artistic traditions and schools
